La Plume, PA – Keystone College's baseball team moved into a three-way tie for first place in the Colonial States Athletic Conference by completing a regular season series sweep of Immaculata University with a pair of wins on Saturday at Christy Mathewson Field.  The Giants, who got complete-game efforts from Felix Baez (San Juan, PR/Colegio Presbiteriano) and James Dunning (Scranton, PA/West Scranton), improve to 24-11 overall and are now tied with Immaculata and Marywood University for the top spot in the CSAC as all three squad sport identical, 10-5 records in league play.  

Keystone, who is currently riding a season-high six-game winning streak, has now won nine of their last 10 games.                                                                                                          
In Saturday's opener, Keystone scored five runs on six hits in the bottom of the third inning to open up a 5-0 lead.  Gaston Rojas (Carmel, NY/Carmel) hit a two-run triple the wall in right-center before scoring on a wild pitch to make it a three-run ballgame.  Eduardo Familia (Bronx, NY/Collegio Utesianode Estudios Integrados) and Louis Reyes (Port St. Lucie, FL/Treasure Coast) then followed with RBI base hits to give the Giants a five-run advantage.
 
Keystone extended their to 7-0 in the home fifth as Kevin Luciano (Everett, MA/Cambridge Rindge and Latin School) singled to right to drive in Alex Herceg (Jackson, NJ/Jackson Memorial) before Luciano came home on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Nate Ross (Albuquerque, NM/La Cueva). 
 
Immaculata broke up Baez's shutout bid in the visitor's sixth as Howie Kalamets scored on a Ryan Ficca sacrifice fly, but Keystone took a 9-1 advantage in the bottom half of the frame when Rojas launched a two-run home run deep over the left-field fence. 
 
That was more than enough for Baez, who closed out his third complete game of the season with a scoreless seventh inning to improve to 4-0 on the season.  The junior right-hander scattered five hits and walked just one while striking out eight batters.  Baez faced just four batters over the minimum in the game one victory. 
 
Familia went 4-4 at the plate while Rojas went 2-3 with four RBIs to power Keystone's offense in the opener while Luciano and Lanfranco collected a pair of hits each.
 
Immaculata starter Mike Campisano (1-1) was charged with the loss after surrendering five runs on eight hits in three innings of work.  Adam Wheatley came on in relief and yielded four runs on six hits in three innings out of the bullpen for the Mighty Macs, who had their five hits in the game come from five different players.
 
In the nightcap, pitching and defense dominated throughout as the two teams remained scoreless through 4.5 innings.  Immaculata worked out of a second and third jam in the bottom of the second inning while Keystone escaped a threat with runners on the corners in the top of the fourth inning with a rare, 2-4-5-2-5, caught stealing.
 
Keystone broke through for the game's only run in the fifth inning as Anthony Muccio (Tarrytown, NY/Archbishop Stepinac) led off the frame with a hard single to right field and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Cody Darley (Port St. Lucie, FL/Treasure Coast).  Lanfranco then drove in Muccio with the game's first run with an RBI single to right-center.
 
Dunning did the rest on the mound for the Giants, stranding a pair of runners in the sixth inning before leaving the potential tying run at second in the seventh inning to improve to 5-1 on the season with his first complete game of the spring.  The senior right-hander allowed just three hits while striking out six batters in the complete game shutout win.
 
Rojas, Familia, Muccio, and Lanfranco accounted for the host's four hits in the game two victory.
 
Immaculata starter Trevor O'Brien allowed one hit in two scoreless innings before handing the ball over to Kenny Anderson (1-2), who suffered the loss after yielding the game's only run while allowing three hits in three innings of work.  Nick Campione pitched a scoreless sixth inning for the Mighty Macs, who got hits from Ficca, Coleman Richards, and Matt Lawson in the game two defeat.
 
Keystone will be right back in action on Sunday as they host Arcadia University in a non-conference game scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. at Christy Mathewson Field in La Plume.
